Categories v1.53 (iPhone Application)

Categories allows you to create categories on your desktop. These are icons that are like folders that can contain other icons to launch. This allows you to organize your desktop rather than having it be a huge mess. The app comes with a GUI configurator so that you do not have to edit text files. When you add an app to a category, it is removed from the springboard list so that it no longer shows up on the main desktop. When you remove the app from the category it is returned back to the springboard.

Changes:

fixed a bug on 1.0.2 firmware – the “Show Assigned Apps” toggle didn’t work

Install via Ste’s repository.

Jiggy v0.21 (iPhone misc)

With just Jiggy and a browser, you’ll be able to write an awesome iPhone application in a matter of minutes. JiggyApps run natively on the iPhone, so there is no messing around with HTML and the limitations of Mobile Safari. At the same time, you don’t need a compiler or even a Mac, because JiggyApps are written in JavaScript.

Thanks to Ste’s repository ( http://blog.psmxy.org/ ) for the news.

Jack and the Beanstalk (Build 2) (A2600 misc)

atariland2600 has posted a progress build of “Jack and the Beanstalk”.

Release notes:

Added a cut-scene between levels 1 & 2, even though I’m nowhere close to being done with designing levels for level 1, therefore, the only way to see the cutscene is by pressing reset, preferrably at the title screen. In the cut-scene (Jack just got home), Jack’s mother throws the beans out the house window. Night falls, and up grows a beanstalk. The sun rises and then level 2 begins (I haven’t done any programming for level 2 besides putting in the first screen’s playfield.) Hope you like it. Also, can someone please design a one-color troll for use in this game?

APlogger v1.0.4 (iPhone Application)

APlogger is a native iPhone/iPod Touch application that scans and logs visible WiFi Access Points (APs).

It is similar, and owes much to, the popular iPhone Stumbler application, but provides a number of additional features:

summaries of the most recent scan and all past scans since invocation are displayed.
detected APs are logged in a tab-separated logfile for offline analysis. Logfile names are expanded using strftime().
the current location may be enumerated and is logged with each AP entry (sorry, no GPS support yet!).
one-off scans, or periodic “auto-scanning” at a chosen rate, may be requested.
the detailed view of the most recent scan may be sorted by SSID or RSSI.
the WiFi interface may be turned on and off with a simple control.
